Spider-Man: Sony Executive Hopes New MCU Deal Will Continue After Third Tom Holland Film

Spider-Man returning to the MCU is a "classic win, win, win."

Marvel fans have been rejoicing ever since news broke that Spider-Man would return to the MCU, but how did Sony and Marvel repair its relationship? In a recent roundtable with THR, Sony Pictures Chairman, Tom Rothman, and Disney's Chief Creative Officer, Alan Horn, discuss how the companies were able to bring Spider-Man back to the MCU – and how they hope the relationship will continue after the third Tom Holland Spider-Man film.

"The fanbase, which is important to all of us, seemed to really respond to what Tom [Rothman] and his folks had done before with our people, and they like it," said Horn. "They like the fact that the MCU and Kevin Feige were involved and we heard feedback out there that suggested joining forces once again was probably really a good idea."
